Redemption Has Conditions
By: Scott Ingram
TEXT: Judges 2:1-5
THESIS: To show from the Scriptures that God's blessing, His protection, and ultimate redemption was and is conditional for the Israelite's then and for all men today.
INTRODUCTION:
1. God's promises are more often than not, conditional.
A) There are the promises that Christ will return that are not conditional.
B. There are however, also the promises, such as, what will happen to each of us, where we will go, and what we will suffer or enjoy after our life on earth is over.
2. These promises that are conditional are never vague and they are as certain as the ones that are set in stone.
A) God gives the rewards and conditions we are to receive and live by in order to receive them.
B) It is a guarantee that we will receive the appropriate reward based on the fulfillment or failure to fulfill the conditions.
3. The easiest to find examples of promises and conditions given, and then fulfilled, on the part of God and on the part of man are found in the Old Testament which was at least partly written for us to have an example of Biblical principles such as this one so that we might learn from what happened to them.(Rom.15:4; 1 Cor.
10:11)
DISCUSSION:
I. God can be trusted.
(Judges 2:1)
A. God has already proved Himself to Israel.
1.
The Lord spoke to them about their sins but reminded them of what He had already done for them.
(Judges 2:1b)
2.
He reminded them of His actions but also His word that He would be with them.
B. God has laid out all the evidence anyone could reasonably ask for when deciding if they should trust Him
1.
At the time He did it for them by reminding them of what already happened and surely they could read about it in the Pentateuch if they were not able to hear about it from their relatives before them.
2. We have all things written and recorded for us today, as mentioned in the introduction, but also in the New Testament we have all that we need to believe God.
(John 14:29; Rom.
10:17)
II.
We must be trustworthy towards God.
A. The nation of Israel failed to prove themselves trustworthy in the past.
(Exo.
32:1-6)
1.
They were proving themselves untrustworthy now as well.
2. God pointed out what He had done for them and what was promised and rightfully so, He asked a question to for the point of causing them to consider their lack of action.
(Judges 2:2)
B. We have to ask ourselves what has God promised us and what do we stand to lose if we are not faithful.
1.
The nation of Israel lost out on God's help driving people from physical land.
(Judges 2:3)
2. We lose out on being able to enter into a land of rest, a place in God's home if we do not obey God's voice.
(Judges 2:2)
III.
We will receive our reward if we are trustworthy.
A. In the case of Israel at the time of which we are reading, the nation was going to be blessed physically and have little to no adversity in the land if they kept the word of the Lord.
1.
This blessing goes back to the principle and teaching of Deuteronomy.
(Deut 28:1-14)
2. Moses also spoke of their curse if they were to be disobedient.
(Deut.
28:15-68)
B. The book of Judges follows a cycle of the Israelite peoples being blessed and cursed following their obedience or disobedience.
1.
This cycle illustrates time and time again the conditional nature to many of God's promises.
2. It proves that God's word is absolute and we will only be blessed by God if we actually do what He says to do.
CONCLUSION.
1.
If we truly take the time to consider God, we will see that He can be trusted.
2. Often times we are the ones who fall short on our end of the deal that God has graciously offered us free of charge.
3. It is important to remember that if we meet the conditions to God's promise of salvation we will have a great reward and if we do not there is a curse waiting as well.
4. Let us do that which is right, help each other along the way, become leaders that will help the church as the Judges who would steer the children of Israel in the right direction and all be in heaven together.
